Poem for Jul 08



Radha-Govinda


Radha-Govinda reciprocate with me.
Radha-Govinda, when Krishna was taken
from Vrindavana to Mathura the ladies
from Mathura thought, “Oh, how
fortunate are the women of Vrindavana.
They get to see Krishna and Balarama
every day as the boys walk on the road.”
But Radharani and the gopis
in Vrindavana lamented, thinking that
Krishna would become
attracted and attached to the
sophisticated ladies of Mathura
and forget them and never
return to them.
The truth is the gopis always
remain in Krishna’s heart, and
Radharani is His dearmost forever.
I am grateful Radha-Govinda
reside with me in Viraha Bhavan.
